The option "systemd.servicew" does not exist

I was in a middle of configurating my nixos with flakes, home managers and other cool stuff then suddenly my sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake /etc/nixos#default started giving me this:

error:
       … while calling the 'seq' builtin

             content = {

I don’t have a single idea what this means to me, since I don’t have any “systemd.servicew” in my files.

Any help, thanks

Could you try with:

--option eval-cache false

Hello
this error means that this option does not exist. The problem here is that it does not seem like an typo in your config but rather a typo in the package jibri/default.nix.
But looking into the source of this package I could not find this typo.
Two things I would recommend you to do.
First of all do an update maybe this will resolve the issue.
Second comment these lines and see if it works:

So, it’s obviously caused by some file containing servicew instead of services. And in binary, ascii s is 01110011, while w is 01110111, which is only one bit off. What are the chances that jibri/default.nix file just got corrupted by a single bit flip or something? Try verifying your store with nix-store --verify --check-contents --repair
